The Everyday Edit: March 2026
Spring Fever is Real (And Apparently So is My Shopping Cart)
March in Canada is a bold, audacious liar. One day it gives you 12 degrees, a blue sky, and just enough sunshine to make you think your suffering is finally over. You go outside without a coat, feel genuinely hopeful, maybe even text someone to say “I think spring is coming!😄” And then it snows, for two days. Pretty typical March weather.
And yet. I’ve been bitten. Spring fever has set in. I’m scrolling spring styles, I’m daydreaming about my slides and cropped linen pants. At work, the spring collections are rolling in and we’re in full swing getting ready for our summer linen launch, and I am HERE for it. I want to be in sandals. I want brighter colours and open windows and the general feeling that everything is going to be fine. I need to keep reminding myself – it’s still only March Tracy!
The sales and deep discounts on winter clothes right now? Zero interest. I literally cannot. You want to show me a gorgeous blush linen blazer at full price? Yes please!
In the meantime, while I wait for the universe to cooperate, I’ve been finding joy in the little things. Here’s what I’ve been loving in the month of March.
The Shower Gel That Smells Like a Luxury Retreat
This one requires a bit of a preamble, because I need to tell you exactly how this product fits into my life. It is not your average shower gel situation.
I do not use it every day. It is expensive. I stretch it out deliberately and save it for moments that call for a little something special. Some people meditate. Some people journal. I have a shower with this shower gel and I feel measurably better about everything.
The scent is the whole point. It is rich, warm, and almond-forward in a way that is genuinely intoxicating. The best description I can come up with is that it smells like a warm almond croissant, deeply comforting without being overly sweet or cloying, and it lingers beautifully. I use it during a hot shower before bed sometimes, and it genuinely relaxes me. There is something about that scent that just feels like a reward.
It also leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated at the same time, which is a hard thing to pull off in a cleansing product.
Now, I also have the matching Almond Body Oil, which I sometimes apply after using the gel. The scent layered together is absolutely divine. The oil though? Greasy. Not a little greasy. A lot greasy. I love the way my skin smells and feels eventually, but the immediate slip factor is not for me. I use it sparingly and will likely not repurchase it. I think I’ll switch to their rich body cream instead.
The shower gel, however? I will repurchase that until the end of time.
The Kitchen Tool That Saved My Hands
I have to be honest about how this came into my life. I was influenced. Instagram or TikTok, I honestly cannot tell you, and does it really matter? Someone was spraying their sheet pan vegetables with an even mist of olive oil and I thought: I need that! My hands are a disaster. Don’t understand the connection? Let me explain.
I cook a lot, and therefore I wash my hands constantly. Between the dish soap and the cold winter air, my hands are chronically dry from October through April. Coating vegetables with oil by hand means another wash, and by March, I am tired of it.
This bottle has a dual function: flip the nozzle cap and there’s a pour spout, or keep it as-is and you get a fine, even mist. That mist is genuinely satisfying. It coats vegetables evenly, hits the bottom of the air fryer basket with just the scantiest layer, and gets into the corners of a sheet pan perfectly. It’s also surprisingly versatile; I use it for anything that needs a light, controlled coating of oil. Meat, salads, pans, the occasional “I just need a tiny bit of oil” moment that used to result in me over-pouring from a heavy bottle.
It comes in glass, which feels nicer on the counter and lets you see exactly how much oil you have left. You can also put it in the top rack of the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
I’ve had mine for 6 months now, and use it daily. It is one of those purchases where you look back and cannot remember life without it.
The Thing I Should Have Bought Five Years Ago
I am late to this party on this one, I know. These have been around for ages and I have spent years casually stepping over charging cords and watching cables slither off nightstands like they’re trying to escape. I am here to tell you: I have seen the light, and the light is a self-adhesive cord clip.
I put them on the sides of my end tables, console tables, bedside table, and desk. Some people even use them in their car. Anywhere we charge things, which at this point is everywhere basically. The concept is embarrassingly simple: peel off the backing, stick the clip to the edge of whatever surface you want, and slide your cord in. It stays. You can find it when you need it.
They also work beautifully for power cords that you just want to tuck away and keep in their lane. A side table lamp cord that creeps across the floor? Done. A charging setup that looks like a small electrical storm? Fixed.
They come in multi-packs, a few different colours, and larger sizes for when you need to wrangle a bunch of cords in one spot. I even repositioned one after I stuck it somewhere slightly off, and it came off the wood surface cleanly with no damage and no residue left behind, and I was able to re-stick it. Brilliant!
The Final Word on March
Look. The snow is going to come back. It always does. We know this. I accept it. But right now, today, there is a 14-degree day somewhere on the horizon, and I am choosing to believe in it.
Until then, I’m going to smell like an almond croissant, roast my vegetables without destroying my hands, and admire how organized my charging cords look from across the room.
Spring, I’m ready for you. Whenever you’re actually ready to commit.
